Im really getting into this game and I had read a lot of reviews that said the game was really linear and ran you on a set path. But ive found that in a lot of areas there are rooms that you don't have to go into or alternate paths that you can take to complete the level (the like one where you can either go along the extended bridges or the other way that I didn't take) Also it is very immersive, fabulous graphics (im doing 800x600 on high quality with a 9600xt), and great lighting. The flashlight was annoying at first but now ive got used to it and I know when to change it and when to not and really it makes for further immersion. The comments that it should be taped to your gun don't quite stack up when you think that you would have to have it taped to only one gun - so which one? Ive gotten good at dodging the imps mostly but in some ways the hardest enemies are the possessed soldiers! Im upto the communications area and really getting into it. In the last 6 months ive played CoD + CoD UO, HL2, Far Cry, Riddick EFBB and a bit of GTA Vice City and this definitely stacks up with them. The one downside is that I can't really see myself playing it over again, however with HL2 I dived right in and went quite far into it the same day that I completed it! Just thought I would share my views that I think its definitely a good game and well worth having a crack at.
